Cash Connection Charges

Any request for connection to a public utility sanitary sewer or water main for which the property has not been previously assessed or paid for in any part is subject to a Cash Connection Charge (CCC). The current charge is $4,325 per unit for each respective sanitary sewer or water cash connection. This fee may increase annually. The city engineer reviews and adjusts this fee according to inflation and/or the construction cost index. These fees are paid in the Engineering Division and retained by the city for the purpose of supplementing and offsetting ongoing maintenance costs.

Minnesota State Statute Chapter 471.701 requires that
"A city or county with a population of more than 15,000 must annually notify its residents of the positions and base salaries of its three highest-paid employees."
